Same on Iona. Horrendous noise at night. After a few sleepiness nights I went to Reception. Huge queue of people all there for the same thing. Gave up! Never heard anything like it on any other ship.
Hope she is looked after. Noro has been prevalent on all ships this year. Bad on Ventura last month, and on Arcadia a couple of times. Tender ports missed, parties canceled, etc. as a result. Just got to live with it like we did with covid.
Lots of lady waiters in MDR on my cruises this year. In fact, have noticed many more ladies working in cabins and bars too than there used to be. They are lovely.
I cruise mainly on the two smaller ships as a solo. They are popular so can be very expensive, particularly for a balcony cabin. Even so, their cruises seem to sell well. If Aurora were to go, I think they could fill Ventura as an adults only ship.
My first cruise was on Celebrity Constellation in 2011. I thought it was massive! Two weeks Caribbean. Cost £4000. My Arcadia Xmas cruise this year cost nearly £6000. It is sold out, so small, adults only, still popular.
